Disclaimer

Owing to the nature of TVRs and their potential performance, together with the associated risks of something failing at the high speeds of which these cars are capable, the TVRCC strongly advises that all maintenance on TVRs is conducted by qualified professionals.  A list of TVR dealers and independent garages that specialise in TVRs can be found   here.
However, in response to feedback from members, for those members will do wish to undertake home maintenance of their TVR, we have tried to provide a source of the necessary technical information. It has been compiled from a variety of sources, including TVR workshop manuals, other websites and members' own reports of how they have completed work on their cars,   and therefore the TVRCC takes no responsibility for any inaccuracies or the subsequent consequences thereof.  If you have any doubt, please seek the services of a professional.
